Two Rivers Gallery is located on the traditional, unceded territory of the Lheidli T'enneh, on the land that is now referred to as Prince George, British Columbia, Canada.

The Artists:

Aimée Henny Brown, an artist and educator of settler ancestry, completed her BFA at the University of Alberta and obtained her Masters in Fine and Media Arts at NSCAD University in 2007. Aimée’s artistic practice engages archives, research and printed matter to question historical content within her contemporary art practice.

Monique Motut Firth is a multidisciplinary visual artist, writer and educator working primarily in paper, paint and textiles.  Her current works investigate the use of collage and photomontage as critical strategies for exploring the role of technical images in knowledge production and cultural representation.

About the Exhibition: The Tip of the Iceberg

Climate extremes, disrupted habitats, and sea level rise, like the tip of an iceberg, are the most apparent elements of a much bigger concern. Climate change, linked to an increase in greenhouse gasses, encompasses these and many other environmental factors that, in turn have social, political, and economic consequences. Through diverse media including photography, digital prints, sculpture, video and sound, the work of eleven BC-based artists explore climate change from different perspectives.

Exhibition Run: January 22nd to April 4th, 2021
